NAVIGON MyMaps:
NAVIGON MyMaps allows you to carry only the country maps you currently need. Meaning you have more memory space for photos, music and other apps.
Please note the following: Positioning your iPhone correctly in the vehicle is very important to ensure optimal GPS reception! We recommend that you use the NAVIGON Design Car Kit for the iPhone, which includes both a designer suction pad holder and a car charger, enabling you to charge your iPhone during the journey. Available from specialist retailers or from the NAVIGON shop directly at www.navigon.com!
Should you experience GPS reception problems with your iPhone, please refer to the FAQ on our website:www.navigon.com.
Allowing GPS to run in the background for extended periods can lead to a significant reduction in battery life.
Whether in the car, by bike or on foot, NAVIGON hopes you have fun navigating. www.navigon.com/facebook www.navigon.com/twitter

Amazing graphics and really smooth!

This is the first GPS software I'm trying out on my iPhone. To date it is also the only software that offers maps for South Africa. I was waiting for TomTom to launch their SA maps but after using MobileNavigator all I can say is WOW!!! The graphics are absolutely awesome and I love how the map actually zooms in or out depending on the speed you driving :-) Looks like I might just give TomTom a skip when they come onboard and stick with Navigon. I now just need a car charger and a cradle. I did see on Navigon's facebook page that they are launching their own cradle (with a charger) next month - will have to keep an eye out for that :-)
Very Good GPS Software
Gerrit Louw
Comparing the Navigon software and the ease of use on the iPhone i must admit that i prefer using the iPhone instead of my Garmin Nuvea 710 GPS unit. The maps are up to date and the routing is very very good. Some of the buttons is a little bit small to press when driving but im sure this will be fixed in a future update. Overall worth every dollar. Just waiting for the craddle then im tossing my Garmin unit.
Great App!! Very impressed.

I have been using this app for a couple of months and I am really enjoying it. The 3D graphics are very good, the integration with the iPod functionality and phone is excellent. Recently I bought the TomTom car kit from Cape Union Mart and this app works well with it. The latest update includes safety cams which was the only thing I was missing, hence my upgrade from 4 to 5 stars.
Icons to small
Vish23
This is the best naviagtion for south africa , graphics is outstanding compare to tomtom only one downfall is that the icons are to small , I have it on the car kit so its stuck onton the windscreen and because you sitting back and driving you cant make out the icons at all unless u really look at it close , the icons are just way to small ,i tell you the icons are the best icons ive seen but if only navigon could make them bigger so we wouldnt have to strain our eyes just to look at it while driving. Thumbs up on safety camera database !!!
READ BEFORE YOU BUY! waste!

1. The program doesn't stay working in background and exits or stops navigating with multitasking after short time. 2. I wanted to go from Potchefstroom to Pretoria via the N14, there is no option for this, and if there is, then where is it?? 3. Every time I plug in my headphones, the woman shouts in my ears as if its on speaker!! It doesn't have a separate volume control which also means it doesn't remember your last volume setting. 4. There are streets missing, example: Prinkaanvoel straat in East Lynn. FIX THESE and other obvious errors please after all its $80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great app. Just make sure you reboot. After locating this app through the US iTunes Store I have to realise what an absolute utter wast of time the SA iTunes Store is.
Why are you suppressing my review?
Nick - lost in Hillbrow
Last week I wrote a long review of this piece of rubbish which you are suppressing - WHY?

Great App, absolutely love it. I must say, the only annoying part of it, is that it takes a bit longer to start up, since Garmin took over, or since Late 2011 updates. Before that it used to startup fairly quick. Please look into that guys. But none the less, it's an awesome App to have.
Notification of new map updates block usage
Vaughn Williams
Whenever a new set of map updates and/or core files are received, there is no warning or an option to postpone (not now) -- so until you perform the updates the app can't be used -- fix this really irritating bug, and then the rating will be 4 - btw since the new app design was released. I have been blocked from using the app on 4 occasions, Completely Unacceptable!
